Cristian Lasagna-Reeves, Ph.D.

Associate Professor, Baylor College of Medicine


Cristian Lasagna-Reeves, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the Department of Neurology at Baylor College of Medicine. The main focus of his lab is to comprehensively elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the transition that the microtubule-associated protein tau undergoes from its physiological function to aggregated toxic function in neurodegenerative tauopathies. To investigate the mechanisms of these diseases, he has used a broad range of strategies, such as in vitro aggregation assays, disease cellular models, mouse genetic interaction, behavioral studies, and human neuropathology.
